the model from the platform.

Tips: 1. The printing platform is not easy to bend too large in daily use, and it is impossible to prevent deformation from being unusable;
2. The printing platform is a perishable part, and it is recommended to replace it regularly to ensure that the first layer of the model sticks properly.

6.2 Maintenance of screw rod, optical axis and guide rail

It is recommended to purchase lubricant and perform regular lubrication maintenance on the screw rods, optical shafts, and guide rail areas.
